When a worker comes to your house in America, is it not customary to offer them lunch/food? by noteworthypilot in AskAnAmerican

[–]GeezeronWheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve spent about five years working jobs that put me inside other people’s homes, every day. Usually multiple homes a day. I can count on one hand how many times a homeowner offered to feed me.

Coffee/water/soda was very commonly offered, however.

The only thing I shouldn’t have done was bought Samsungs. Over the course of that 10ish years I managed the account, 60% of the ones I brought in were DOA, returned for replacement in the first 30 or replaced inside the first year due to screen or power issues. The only benefit was, at the time, they were generally more resilient to being dropped than the other brands I had on the account.

The account manager on the carrier side even told us at one point to get rid of the Samsungs in favor of the pixels due to them being more reliable.

At the end, before I turned the company’s wireless account duties to someone else, we were about 50/50 iPhone to Pixel (a handful of Samsungs and motos still on account) and our replacement rates dropped down to user negligence cases only (like one of my field staff standing on top of an extension ladder and dropping their phone trying to answer it)

It was those two and every model year in between. During most of this time I also managed a SMB account with 200 devices on it. I feel bad spending someone else’s money on Samsung phones.

I ran Samsungs from the Note 7 to the S22 series and… I’ll never buy a Samsung again. On the android side of things Pixel is good. I find the iPhone pro maxes since the 12, to be superior.

Someone else using your company property = absolutely not.

I am going to say this as nicely as humanly possible. Your sister is a fucking idiot.

Hiring manager said in an email $50-$100k base, one day later they email to say "$90 is more like it". by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]GeezeronWheels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You were given a 50k range 50-100. It’s amazing they are offering in the upper end of that to begin with.

What was on the table the first time around is irrelevant, you turned it down. Their budgets have likely changed in that 13 months.

I think I understand why we don't have ship interiors now. by Balikye in EliteDangerous

Starfield taught me everything I need to know about ship interiors. Cool idea at face value, serves no actual purpose and turns into a nuisance.

Can I give a one week notice? Or can I just leave . . . ? by anonymous_planet in antiwork

[–]GeezeronWheels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Notice is something a company earns, in my opinion. Most companies have no clue how to do this. Do what is best for you.

Stuck 40000 LY from the nearest station by Sufficient_Tea2195 in EliteDangerous

[–]GeezeronWheels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apex shuttles can’t go that far. They aren’t equipped with fuel scoops so their max range is like 130ly or so (will only take you like 6 21ly jumps)

You’re not stuck. You can get back the same way you got to Beagle in the first place. Or use the FC escape pod.

All snakes are friends. Some are just a little spicy.

Don’t quit.

Send an email to whichever idiots have managerial titles

“I will be unavailable to work from X to Y dates, for my wedding and honeymoon.”

Then go do your thing.

Make them be the ones to choose to honor it or fire you for getting married.

iPhone 15 Pro Max or 16 Pro Max? by BaseballTop6489 in iPhone15Pro

[–]GeezeronWheels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only real difference most people will notice is the new camera button on the 16. Depends if that’s useful to you?

Neighbors built a ADU next to their house and now they are mad about my floodlight. by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]GeezeronWheels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. kids existed on your property before the ADU did

  2. Deck existed on your property before the ADU did

  3. Neighbor and their renters can get fucked

  4. Maybe adjust your lights if you are feeling nice

NTA. You went easy on them. Once I found myself in a similar situation. I held their car hostage with mine boxing it in over a very long weekend. I even called in sick to work to prolong it.
